Code of Conduct

10th BerkeleyGW Tutorial Workshop & 5th Berkeley Excited States Conference (BESC2024), Aug 12-16, 2024

August 12, 2024

Introduction

The 10th Annual BerkeleyGW Tutorial Workshop and the 5th Berkeley Excited States Conference (BESC2024), will be held August 12 - 16, 2024, in Oakland, California, USA. The events will be held in person (with an option for virtual attendance).  This is a 3-day workshop (instructions and hands-on) + a 2-day conference. The target participants are graduate students, postdocs, and researchers who are interested in learning about or sharpening their skills on ab initio calculations of many-electron effects in excited-state properties of condensed matter.

Location: Cal State East Bay Oakland Center, Oakland, CA, USA

Last two years' events: 9th Workshop and BESC2023, 8th Workshop and BESC2022 

BerkeleyGW Tutorial Workshop, Aug 12-14, 2024

The BerkeleyGW Tutorial Workshop includes lectures and hands-on tutorial sessions on the GW and GW Bethe-Salpeter equation (GW-BSE) approaches using the newly released BerkeleyGW-4.0 package. The Workshop will cover theories of GW and GW-BSE methods and beyond, standard and new features of BerkeleyGW, and detailed examples of using the BerkeleyGW in conjunction with various DFT packages. Training accounts will be available for the hands-on sessions using the GPU-accelerated NERSC’s Perlmutter supercomputer. Distribution of the training accounts will prioritize to in-person attendees. 

Some exercises and resources from previous Workshops can be found at: https://berkeleygw.org/documentation/

5th Berkeley Excited States Conference (BESC2025), Aug 15-16, 2024

BESC2024 will be a general topical conference with mainly invited talks by experts on recent progress in the theory and applications of ab initio study of quantum many-body effects as well as experiments in excited-state phenomena in materials, showcasing forefront research that involves advanced many-body approaches (e.g., GW, GW-BSE & beyond, DMFT, quantum Monte Carlo, TDDFT, TDGW, etc.), novel experiments, and new science in the excited states
